Great video, my biggest advice to new judoka: Focus on only 1 or 2 throws per year. Not the uchikomi of the throw, but how to hit that throw in all directions, how use other techniques to set it up, how to use that throw to set yourself up. Developing kumi kata to get that throw. Truly master a throw before moving on.
Good stuff!
Thanks for the advice. I just started judo a week ago. I wrestled for 6 years and I have a lot of bad habits to break. I’ll try to go randori with more guys my level because one of my partners today was a Cuban National champion and was smashing me but gave me respect since I would be aggressive with him and not back down.
I started judo a year ago, at the age of 63. Loving it. I wanted to disagree with one of your comments, about doing randori with lower grades, or people who are not as good as you so you can learn to actually perform techniques. At my club, I learn most sparring with the black belts, and other high grades. In my experience, they give me openings, and teach me to pull off techniques, and show me why sometimes they don't work. As an older guy, I find the younger beginners (no-one is less then 30 years younger than me) are very often much stronger and faster than me so that I struggle to pull off any throws or win on the ground - it does happen, but it often feels a lot more risky!
Great video! Very useful tips 🙇♂️💪🥋
Thanks! appreciate that, especially coming from someone like you, i just visited your channel. Subbed!
Another thing i would say don't be afraid to get thrown .
That's the scariest part
Yes , except I just had a lower belt give a multiple ligament knee injury so 🤷♂️. Sat on and collapsed my leg. They can also be very dangerous, especially white belts
Oh my, i hope you recover soon. I am going to start Judo within few days. Since from your experience it seems sparring someone from lower level is unsafe. What are your recommendations? Should i spar with someone who has higher skill level or someone more experienced?
@@codenameidk206 how is it going???
Great tips man ! I have also wanted to start a Judo class for adults ! What bothers me though is the gi and belt stuff- I tend to sweat very easily and also our country is very warm. Should I go to a freesryle wrestling class instead (they don't demand any specific uniform) better than nothing ?
You will sweat just as much in freestyle wrestling it's nearly more fast paced imo than judo its literally go go go go it's really really physically demanding
i would just recommend getting over that, who cares if you sweat a lot, lots of guys do and they still train. Osu!
everybody sweats during n after training. no worries
Trust me, lots of guys sweat like crazy. It's nothing special
Can you turn the music up a little I can almost hear ur voice? Thanks for video and some good tips I'm almost 2 months in
hehehe, will do, i will turn music up. Osu!!
What are indicators of a good or not so good Judo club - that a total beginner could use?
oohhhh, good question, i make video for u. Osu!
I wish there were classes around me. Cant find any in Houston
Suprisng for one of the biggest cities in the U.S. are you sure
There are a few here. What part of htown are you?
What is a good school in Houston?
Houston Judo academy. That one looked good but was a bit far from me. Hope you found something man! Starting mine next week 😬
WIll you be competing with guys in the 40s age category only? Or will you be competing with the younger ones as well on the world tour? Much thanks sensei. :)
On a world tour i'll stick with guys my age, locally i'll compete with the younger guys so i can get more fights and experience.
@@OGFITNESS That's great! Would it be possible though for someone in their 40s to win world championships with the younger ones as aforementioned? It may sound overly optimistic but I was just wondering. :)
You need to edit out your “umm-ing” and pauses between thoughts man. You take far too long to get your points across🤷🏻♂️
Nice attention span brother
Sounds like a you problem
Honestly, I like his authentic approach. The less edited shows an honest approach
That and it's less work for my editor lol!!
I disagree, the umming and pauses are part of natural speech, which make the videos more enjoyable to watch.
I would add not to give up. A lot of people try judo and quit. Maybe someone who does TKD will be more likely to stick with it but still Judo is very physically and mentally demanding especially starting out. It's easy to get discouraged and stop. Keep going to class, have fun, and stay safe.
I find if you fall on a good coach he'll get you to fall in love with the sport, at least that's what happen to me. Osu!
At what point does it get easier? Getting thrown is very daunting honestly
@@NoRockinMansLand Probably after a few months. The tricky thing is that when you get thrown you have to relax. If you tense up you get hurt. But paradoxically you can't relax if you're worried about getting thrown and hurt. If you're feeling uncomfortable with getting thrown and can't relax I suggest politely bowing out of whatever exercise you are doing, do some break falls on your own to loosen up, and jump back in when you're ready. Your club should allow this so long as you are coming off for safety and not just because you are being weak and lazy. You should be able to pace yourself, and avoid doing randori with anyone trying to kill you. Having the right partner makes a big difference. Another thing is that your club should be practicing ukemi every class, or nearly every class. Ukemi are super important. You can practice these at home.
